Nothing about the trailer to help, just the truck, be very careful. That trailer will be around 32ft long and really how much wt. More than you think. The weight that your 1/2 ton can carry is the problem. Check out the GVWR sticker to see. These trailers say how much they weight and how much the tongue weight is but, that is empty and without battery, propane, hitch, etc etc. See my listed trailer. As I recall the factory says the tongue wt is around 640 lbs, it is not over kill for many 1/2 tons. I camp to enjoy it and so I do take stuff like chairs, a few tools, food, water, clothes. I took the trailer over a scale at found the real world tongue weight is over 900 lbs. No problem with my truck, I can still travel with the truck bed loaded and 4 passengers and will not be over weight. If your new to towing and RVing and with that truck check it out alittle further to be towing your family safely and being safe for the others using the roads your on.
